Presenters Terry and Duke from Mark McChrystal’s Bedtime Stories fame are here to put the cheer into Bristol sport, for your audio delight. Each month the lads will be rummaging around W.G. Grace’s Sports Surgery and tackling the big sporting issues in Bristol, with an eye on the world of business and politics. It won’t be particularly sensible, but it will be a lot of fun.
